The Cork Oak.

The growth of cork oak in California
is not n matter Of experiment; its sue
cess was demonstrated long ago. The
distribution of cork acorns by the Pat
ent Office about twenty-five years ago
may not have accomplished much in
other parts of the country, but it gave
US start. and there are now trees
yielding cork and bearing acorns at a
number Of different places in the State.
There are trees growing on Mr.. Rich
ardson's place at San Gabriel There
were samples of cork and acorns shown
at the Sacramento Citrus Fair by IL A.
Messenger, of Calavera5 County, there
are trees Of similar age in Sonoma.
Santa Barbara and Tulare. and perhaps
other counties. The State University
Is growing Seeding. from California
cork acorns, and will be likely to have
the trees for distribution next year.
There is no doubt about the adaptation
of the tree to the State as the widely
separated places named above all furn-
=
is OF course crop of which one has TO
wait some time 70 gather. and there
fore needs patience in the planter.
All the corkwood of commerce comes
from the Spanish Peninsula, where tho
trees abound not only in cultivated
forests but also grow wild on the
mountains. The tree is like an Amer-
can oak, with leaves similar to the
oak and acorns. 1t takes ten years
for the bark 70 become proper thick
ness TO be manufactured into bottle
shoppers, life preservers and seine
corks. When stripped from the tree
it is to be boiled for two hours, cured
IN the sun for a week and pressed into
flat pieces for bailing and shipping.
The denuded trunk, like hen robbed
of her eggs, does not sulk and quit the
business, but throws out fresh cover
ing for afresh spoliation. The tree has
been known to yield half a ton Of cork
wood One pound of cork can be
manufactured into IA champagne
corks. The baled cork bark is sold 10
cork manufacturing centres. The most
extensive mandatory in America is at
Pittsburg. Besides the ordinary de-
mands for cork bark, good supply of
the buoyant material, after being burn
ed, to make it still lighter than the
original bark, is shipped to Canada and
New England, where it is made into
seine corks. The average annual inn
portation of corkwood into this
country, entirely at the port of New
York, is 10000 bales year. a bale
weighs l6O pounds, and is worth
on this de of the water $50. making
